The volume of a rectangular parallelepiped is 2432 cu.cm, and its edges are in the ration 2:3:5. What are the dimensions of the solid?
Let x be one dimension....then the other dimensions are 1.5x and 2.5x
Therefore (x)(1.5x)(2.5x) = 2432
So
3.75x^3 = 2432 divide both sides by 3.5
x^3 = 2432/3.75 take the cube root of both sides
x = 3√(2432/3.75 ) = about 8.656cm
And 1.5x = about 12.984cm
And 2.5x = 21.64cm
Proof 8.656 * 12.984 * 21.64 = about 2432.....
